Stem cells and the National Academies

Someone from the NAS outreach office noticed my recent post on Obama's science plan and suggested the following NAS work would be of interest to those fllowing the debate.

We recently published “2008 Advisements to the National Academies’ Guidelines for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research”, which offers a common set of ethical standards along with a straightforward account of stem cells and stem cell research. We believe that this publication would be of interest to anyone following the Stem Cell debate.

This report is available for free online reading and download, along with the following resources that will further inform your readers.

1. Read or download for FREE the entire text of the book in HTML and pd.

2. Podcast: “Stem Cells and the Future of Regenerative Medicine”

This podcast is devoted to the basics on stem cells.
